Match Preview

The Match

If Cameroon beat Brazil, and Croatia draw with Mexico, the hosts
are out.

0:1
After Cameroon's Allan Nyom narrowly avoided a yellow card for a push on Neymar, the young
Brazilian replied the way he knows best; opening up his right foot to slot the ball past
Charles Itandje. The 100th goal of the tournament in Brazil's 100th World Cup game.

Next up, Paulinho tried to tee-up Fred when a pass to Hulk might have
worked better.

1:1
Cameroon silenced the crowd in Brasilia - and probably the whole of Brazil - after Allan
Nyom battled away down the left to eventually drill in a low cross for Allan Nyom to stab
home.

1:2
Neymar only needs a sniff of space and if he can't smell it he'll wriggle a little and
make some. Sublime movement from the little Brazilian; quite rightly milking the adoration
from the crowd.

Half-time Cameroon 1 - Brazil 2

1:3
Fred finally got his name on the scoresheet; heading in from David Luiz on the left.

Neymar was looking for his hat-trick, just before the hour mark, but
the Cameroon defence were sharp getting back and snuffed out the option for a pass to
reach him in the centre.

1:4
As Mexico scored their third goal to try and get on top of the group and avoid Holland, so
Fernandinho replied here with Brazil's fourth.
